Under the ground
Under the groundOrvieto sits on a block of volcanic tuff, and the rock under the streets is hollow: wells, cellars and caves cut by hand over centuries. You go down into one of them, off a lane in the medieval quarter.
Stairs and uneven floors, and it is a stop rather than a day — the other underground tour of Orvieto starts from the cathedral square, and the two sit well together.
Orvieto at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
